As more and more social and business interaction takes place using smart devices there is an increasing need for new ways to secure access to sensitive data. Passwords have been in use for over 20 years – however they are still insecure, difficult to remember, tend to get written down and are vulnerable to key logging and hacking.Alternative hardware solutions do not work well in a mobile environment. PixelPin is an innovative new approach, using pictures as the security access mechanism. By basing security on pictures a far more secure means to logging in is achieved. The concept is simple to understand. The security ‘key’ is a set of user chosen points on a user’s personal picture, the number and position of points selected by the user. Only by selecting the correct points on the picture, in the correct order, is access approved. PixelPin Ltd relocated to Tech City in September 2011 in order to enable the rapid development of a range of Apps and services that can be user trialled using the IC Tomorrow Testbed ready for commercialisation. PixelPin's mission is to bring a new breed of authentication products to market that are easy to use, secure and accessible to all.

随着越来越多的社交和商业互动使用智能设备进行，越来越需要新的方法来保护对敏感数据的访问。密码已经使用了20多年，但它们仍然不安全，难以记忆，往往会被写下来，并且容易受到密钥记录和黑客攻击。替代硬件解决方案在移动的环境中不能很好地工作。PixelPin是一种创新的新方法，使用图片作为安全访问机制。通过基于图片的安全性，实现了更安全的登录方式。这个概念很容易理解。安全“密钥”是用户在用户的个人图片上选择的点的集合，由用户选择的点的数量和位置。只有在图片上选择正确的点，以正确的顺序，才能批准访问。PixelPin有限公司于2011年9月搬迁到科技城，以便能够快速开发一系列应用程序和服务，这些应用程序和服务可以使用IC Tomorrow Testbed进行商业化测试。PixelPin的使命是为市场带来一种新的身份验证产品，这种产品易于使用，安全，所有人都可以使用。
